Snowsation Evergreen Candytuft

Snowsation™ is a compact Iberis sempervirens selection that Darwin Perennials describes as freely branching and uniform in flower, with large blooms. Proven Winners lists it at 6–8 inches tall by 10–12 inches wide, while the producer lists hardiness Zones 4a–9a; these are source-reported ranges rather than exact outcomes for every site.

Proven Winners lists Snowsation for containers and groundcover and notes that it suits beds, walkways, and patios. Its small footprint makes it useful at path edges or in a patio container.

The exact-selection profile rates water needs as average to medium; NC State's species guidance describes well-drained soil that can range from moist to slightly dry and prefers neutral-to-alkaline conditions.

After flowering, shear lightly to encourage fresh growth; NC State's general candytuft guidance recommends cutting back by about one-third after bloom. Keep the soil well drained, since wet or poorly drained conditions are unsuitable for the species.
